NoTD-Color Club Worth The Risque

Worth The Risque is a silvery gray, holographic polish. I love these holos; they dry quickly and don't seem to build up as thickly as regular polishes do. A few months ago I bought Fashion Addict, Revvvolution, and Worth The Risque, and this one is the last I've tried. I really like Fashion Addict and was a little disappointed by Revvvolution. We'll see how I feel about Risque. So far it looks nice, and I don't have any other silver holos.


My last mani was two coats of Sally Hansen Black Out, with one coat of CND Violet Shimmer on top. It was utterly gorgeous. In some lights it looked like a red purple, but in most lights it was a blue purple. Really weird how the color shifted depending on the light source. I was very pleased that I got so much wear out of it. I put it on Thursday evening, and took it off Monday evening. That's quite long for me. The only reason I took it off was that the tip wear was getting more obvious, and there were a couple small chips. Other than that, it held up very well, and was still as glossy as when I first put it on.

Nail of The Day-NoTD

Nails of the day! Color Club Revvvolution. Charcoal holo goodness. I'm not sure how many "r"s it has, so I threw in three for good measure.

Last time I wore a CC holo, it was Fashion Addict, which is a great color. The polish dried quickly and wore quite well. That time I think I used the ridge filler base coat from Zoya, which I love. I don't remember the top coat, but it might have been Seche Vite. This time I used the ridge filling base coat from China Glaze, and that thing took forever to dry. I got tired of waiting, and applied the color while the base was still tacky. It seemed to take longer for the polish to dry using this base. I also decided to use a Sally Hansen top coat I had lying around. I'm not happy with it. It's not as shiny as the others I've used, and I think my polish is still dentable, even though it's been at least 3 hours since I did my nails. I might have to redo them as early as tomorrow. I'll have to see how they are in the  morning. So far I'm not pleased with the base or top coats I've been using.
